How to use FRN Server
Conditions
The Free Radio Network gives a larger range to mobile / hand held users. The FRN Server program links gateway stations. This software is free, but there are some rules for using this software. These rules are made to keep the system as much fun to use it.
The next points have to be observed:
- Make sure only gateways with legal equipment are connected to the server.
- Make sure the gateways always use CTCSS or DCS (by preference CTCSS 20), this prevents noise and unintended transmissions from blocking the net.
- Persons using abusive language, misbehaving or blocking the network have to be blocked.
- The free FRN Server software is ment for use on the internet.
Make shure you have the correct firewall and router settings. Use the same email address and password as for FRN Client.
